A rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional Grade II listed residence, dating back to the 16th century and steeped in character and history. Originally three separate cottages, the property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically combined to create a substantial and beautifully presented family home, blending period charm with stylish modern living.

From the moment you step inside, the home’s heritage is evident, with exposed timber beams, brick fireplaces, and handcrafted details throughout. These historic features are perfectly complemented by tasteful contemporary finishes, creating a warm yet refined atmosphere.

The ground floor offers an excellent balance of living and entertaining space. A striking formal dining room features an impressive inglenook-style fireplace with exposed brickwork and timber bressumer beam, forming a superb focal point for gatherings. The main reception room is equally characterful, boasting a further inglenook fireplace complete with a log burner, creating a cosy and inviting setting. The kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed with classic shaker-style cabinetry, solid worktops, and a central island, all set against a backdrop of original beams and brickwork, making it both practical and visually stunning. The ground floor further benefits from a useful utility room and a downstairs WC, enhancing the practicality of the home.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors. The bathrooms are finished to a high standard, with the principal bathroom showcasing a freestanding roll-top bath, quality fittings, and charming character features, offering a luxurious yet characterful retreat.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.42 acres, enjoying a peaceful position on the outskirts of Lower Halstow village. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy, ideal for both families and entertaining. A standout feature is the outdoor bar and kitchen area, perfect for hosting guests and enjoying the surroundings during the warmer months.

The property further benefits from a detached double garage, offering excellent storage or parking, with clear potential for conversion into annex accommodation (subject to the necessary planning permissions). Two separate driveway areas provide ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

This is a unique and rarely available home, offering a perfect combination of historic charm, modern comfort, and future potential, all set within a desirable semi-rural location.
